I click on all six checkboxes in the upper right corner, select
Perimeter (the second radio button), click the map on Cedar for that
fire and then on the left side Zoom my display. Then refresh the screen
as necessary. The data seems accurate and timely since the display has
properly reflected the fires' progress during the day as reported on TV.

Apologies for the tardy response, it's been a little hot down here. One
of the case attorneys apparently lost his home in the Tierra Santa
blaze; he and his wife were packing their cars when I spoke with him
mid-day and his neighborhood has since been reported as burned-over.
Janean's parents also live up there so they might be gone as well.

Lots of horses running loose in the city (there's no time to trailer
them out so people just open the gates). I passed two at Main Street
and Second Avenue this evening, munching on the nice green grass in
front of the florist shop. Took a tour to the east but could only go
two miles, the hills are all in flames coming in from Crest. Also have
a fire coming up from Jamul (about six miles south). Electricity has
been somewhat intermittent. Caravans of fire trucks and earth moving
equipment (for fire breaks). Lines at the gas stations. The striking
picketers are all gone from the supermarkets.

We can see fire in four different directions (Jamul, Otay, Crest,
Cedar). I went over the topology maps and I think the square mile I'm
in will be skipped because it's in a hollow bowl surrounded by hills. A
lot depends on the winds tomorrow.
